# Scan PDF vs VPN

The clearest difference is rating: Scan PDF at 4.8 against VPN's 4.3. VPN's advantage is ratings volume (366 vs 19) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Scan PDF sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days and VPN sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $6.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Scan PDF holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: VPN has 366 ratings behind it against 19, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 80% and 81% positive.

Scan PDF ships an update every 2 months, VPN every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 8, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
